Where to go

Exploring Bath means seeing all of the beautiful buildings constructed out of the local honey-coloured stone. None are more iconic than the Royal Crescent – a row of 30 houses arranged in a perfect arc – dating back to the Georgian period and representing a stunning example of architecture from the time.

Longer drives

Take the toll road to Wales and you could be in Cardiff in an hour and ten minutes, where the spirit of rugby is alive and the impressive castle is worth discovering.

Eating and drinking

Among the local specialities to try in Bath is the Sally Lunn bun, which is said to have originated in the town in 1680. The recipe is a closely guarded recipe, but you can try to work out the ingredients while enjoying one with a cup of tea. Otherwise, park up the car for the evening and order one of the selection of Bath Ales.
